In this episode of the Motion of Gratitude podcast, Shannon Missimer interviews Ellen Bradley, an entrepreneur, yogi, and global citizen. They discuss Ellen’s journey of world schooling her three daughters for the past eight years. Ellen shares that her decision to world school was driven by a desire to expose her children to the beauty and diversity of the world and to break free from societal conditioning. She emphasizes the importance of trusting one’s intuition and making small choices that lead to big changes. Through world schooling, Ellen has learned about the capacity and resilience of children and the power of motherhood. She believes that the world is the greatest classroom and that human connection and nature should be valued in education. Ellen and Shannon discuss the challenges and rewards of world schooling and the importance of gratitude in navigating life’s ups and downs. They also touch on the documentary Untethered and Ellen’s upcoming book, which aim to share the wisdom of women around the world and inspire mothers to trust their intuition and embrace a wildly different normal.
